The Whitehurst Diaries: Bully Boy Raccoon shows off 2022-10-03 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. Sharon says, "On a recent evening with every last bit of kibble consumed, this bully boy was inspired to show off. He swung a bit clumsily onto the horizontal porch railing, got a good grip and shimmied up to peer at us from the angle of the bracing. His descent was lacking in grace, and he huddled for a moment getting his bearings before scuttling towards the sanctuary of the woods."

Lindsey Wilson ad, October 1922 2022-10-03 - Columbia, KY - Photo courtesy JIM. By JIM This ad for the Lindsey Wilson Training School appeared in the Adair County News a century ago this week -- early October, 1922. The new gymnasium under construction was part of Lindsey's move from Training School to Junior College status. A front page article in the same edition reported that a site had been located upon which to erect a house for the principal (later president), Rev. R.V. Bennett and his family, and another site had been selected for an on-campus dairy barn, one large enough to accommodate sixteen head of cattle. (Within days came a change of plans regarding the principal's home. Instead of putting up a new dwelling place, the Conference bought J.R. Garnett's house -- a "comparatively new residence" -- and planned to have it moved to "within a few yards of the school buildings." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
